What drives you nuts?

There are several things that get on my nerves, but I'll just list a couple. For one, it really irks me when someone cannot spell words that most 4th graders know how to spell. Another thing that gets on my nerves is when people smoke right in front of the mall entrance when there's a sign that clearly says that there's not supposed to be any smoking within 25 feet of the entrance. So what really ticks you off?????

To add to the list, what drives me nuts is when you wanted to complain about something and that person ignores you!! Another that makes me want to scream is when the kids bang their utensils together to make that sqeaking sound of two metals! My hairs stand right up!

What drives me nuts? Oh don't get me started! Here are a few... 1) people who drive right behind you with their brights on 2) people who tailgate me 3) people who lick their fingers to eat or turn pages. 4) cinammon 5) people who drive with cell phones stuck in their ears 6) people who use cliches like they're going out of style 7) buying a cheap product that doesn't work That's enough for now!

well there is a lot of things that drive me nuts, although I dont agree with people not being able to spell, because sometimes, it just doesnt come naturally for some. What drives me nuts the most is when I have to scold or discipline my son in a public place, and everyone just stares!! It makes me frustrated at the situation even more!! I know that if I notice someone scolding their child in public, I try to mind my business unless its really someone freaking out or something.

I know that spelling doesn't come naturally to everyone but I am talking about simple words. Take for instance, I know this girl whos my age (28) and she can't even spell "get" she has always spelled it "git". I mean come on, that's word you learn in like 1st grade. I hate when people stare at me when I have to scold my kids too..it's like "hey, mind you're own business" lol..

All of the above drive me crazy and I try to control it by knowing someway, somehow, something I do is driving someone other than me crazy to. I get it like that "Pay it forward" movie but the darkside. Hope it makes you laugh.

I get so annoyed when I'm in a store and someone (along with their cart and their whole family) takes up the WHOLE aisle and you can't get around them. So you have to do the tour all the way around via the next aisle and back up again to get to what you need. Also, it drives me nuts when someone will empty their cart at the register and walk off, leaving the empty cart between me and the cashier. I used to just tolerate it and move their cart. Now, I've learned to speak up and say "EXCUSE ME! Aren't you FORGETTING SOMETHING?" LOL Rude people in generally frustrate me. Is it so hard to be considerate of others?

I agree with you thinkingoutloud. Some people are So rude they won't budge in the isle even after you ask them. I have learned to be just as "nasty" to them. I started pushing their cart out of the way with mine :) Don't worry, I only do this AFTER I had already asked them to "excuse me" numerous times. As far as the checkout...I do the same thing.

Yes and throwing their trash on the ground right near a trash bin, letting their children cry while they are on the phone,trying to seal my parking spot when I have been waiting for it way before they came in the aisle

it really ticks me off when people get in their vehicles while drunk and drive dont they have any consideration for other people on the road?dont they realise that they are putting peoples lives in danger?another thing is when people drive like they are on a racetrack its stupid and their is no reason for it.another is when my internet accidently disconnects me while im in the middle of something and last is when men think that women should serve them and pick up after their lazy butts when us women have two young kids to pick up after.

I have many pet peeves. Drivers that think they are the only one on the road is my biggest (see my discussion "do you have a pet peeve") I also cant stand people smoking that stand in the entrance..and I smoke. I hate trying to get past the stink. I also can't stand people that let their smoke go in your face all the time and don't know when to use the ash tray. I have a friend like that and she drives me nuts.

I hate when you make a simple mistake in traffic, like not notice within the first 2 seconds that the light has changed and you get the angry horn blowing. Even if you start to move a split second after they'll angrily put the peddal to the floor and speed around you unsafely just to give you the angry face or scream with the obscene hand jesture. Is all that really necessary. It's funny how few of these people realize that if they weren't speeding off in a vehicle that I would probably end up in jail from beating them senseless.

Ah, quite a few things drive me nuts: In a crowded parking lot, a car parks right on the divider, hogging up 2 parking spaces; on the streets, a motorcycle parks in such a way that it wastes a potential space for another car; in the theater, the person in the row behind me sticks his stinky feet over the top of the seat next to me, or rustling his chip bag during the movie; when driving away from a fast-food drive-thru, realizing that the clerk did not put a straw in for my drink; I can go on and on!
